Ivan
Ivan is often sleeping on a cat tree when folks come to visit the Amarillo SPCA. He is not overly interactive and folks often pass him by. Ivan may not be for everyone because he probably won’t follow you around or jump on your lap for attention. But he’s a really cool fellow! Minds his own business, has good manners, uses his box, isn’t picky about food and enjoys napping. He doesn’t want a lot of petting and brushing, but a little bit is welcome and sometimes he will come to you for a few pets as well. If you are interested in an independent cat--read on!
Description: Brown/grey/black coloring, short-haired Tabby cat. Large framed.
Age: approx 6 years of age.
Likes: Napping, Investigating, Looking out the window
Needs: May need a quiet home with no small children. He currently doesn’t like a lot of handling and is not really a snuggler. However, he may blossom into a social cat with the right family.
PET SPOTLIGHT
Audrey
Audrey is a pretty 5 ½ month old female kitten. She has beautiful markings in colors of white, tan, grey and black. Her medium length coat is not really long but isn’t short; she’ll need a soft brushing fairly often to keep her shiny and minimize shedding. This grey-striped lady watches a while before she wants to interact but she’s a sucker for a chin or neck scratch. She plays and wrestles with the other larger kittens with her and small toys she can bat and carry around. Audrey has liked every dry or wet kitten food she’s been offered, especially fish flavors. Temptations are her favorite treats.
Boo-UPDATE: Adopted
Boo is a black, male kitty that is a front declaw and approx. 14 years young. He has a short haired, easy to care for soft coat, large glowing eyes and a black nose. Boo has a lived a quiet life as an only kitty and that would be best for his retirement home as well. He likes to be petted and have neck scratches, plus he’s a bit of a talker! He loves his family, but when visitors come, he doesn’t care to socialize. Boo is a sweet mature fella, looking for a loving forever home, a cozy blanket, tasty treats and perhaps a sunbeam for napping.
Coda
Coda is a black/brown male tabby cat about 7 months old. He has a short haired coat in dark brown with black striping throughout. Coda’s sweet face features curious golden eyes and white highlights around his eyes and mouth. He’s an adorable friendly fellow that likes attention and is a ‘talker’.

Gemma is quiet and keeps to herself in the cat room, but welcomes a bit of attention. She likes to be brushed and petted, but for a short time. Gemma may not be best for young kids at this point, but probably waiting for the right family to show her love and bring out her social side. (approx DOB 11/1/16)

Lou
Lou is a male tabby cat approx. 1-1/2 years old. He has an unusual light silvery gray undercoat with darker gray striping throughout his beautiful soft coat.
Lou is a quiet fellow, a bit shy, and can easily get overlooked for adoption in a room full of kittens. But don’t miss out on meeting him--he’s such a sweet, friendly boy and loves having people spend time with him-getting petted, having tummy rubs and being brushed while having a quiet conversation. He makes adorable chirping noises instead of a traditional 'meow'. Lou enjoys playing with soft toys and having snacks-both dry food and a soft food treat. He’s looking for that special, patient person that will let him ease into transitioning to a new home, showering him with love and letting him know he’s safe. He probably would do better in a quiet home without small children at this point and letting him adjust in one room before having the run of the house. (approx DOB 6/2022)
Loretta
Loretta is a female, short-haired kitty celebrating an April birthday and will be 2 years of age. (est dob 4/2022). She has a soft, short-haired coat with large sections of fluffy white fur alongside dark grey & black. Check out Loretta’s adorable pink nose and her sweet face. She is a shy, quiet gal that keeps to herself, but she is friendly, gentle and has a curious nature. Loretta is thrilled to find small coil toys and will play like a kitten with them. Loretta & sibs came to our shelter as kittens and one by one found homes. Being shy, Loretta was nervous about all the shelter activity and didn’t welcome attention and so got passed by for adoption. Volunteers love on her to get her more comfortable around people. She enjoys having her face petted and neck scratched. Sweet Loretta needs a special person that understands shy, cautious kitties and will let her adjust to a new home slowly and love her on her own terms. She will most likely do best in a quiet home, without young kids, or boisterous dogs or bossy cats. Allow her to acclimate in one room before getting free run of the house. Come spend time with her and see if you’re a match!
Mommas
Mommas is a black female kitty about 2 years of age. She has a soft short-haired coat, light green eyes and a black nose. Mommas is a sweet, quiet kitty that likes pets and head rubs. She would love a forever home to call her own. Come visit and see if you are a match!
Nox
Nox is a male black kitty about 5 months old. His black coat is soft and shiny, and a brushing once in a while will keep it that way. Nox also has a black nose and big beautiful eyes. He and sibling Petunia, were rescued from Canyon and socialized in a foster home. Nox is a very shy fellow. He hisses if frightened but has never slapped or bitten and purrs after a few minutes of cuddles. Nox is a sucker for chin scratches, too. He may do best in a quiet home, with an understanding family that is patient as he settles in. Toys he can wrestle with are his favorites, if he can’t wrestle and groom with his sister. He eats whatever he gets without issue.
Rollo
Rollo is a Domestic Short Hair who is approximately 6 years of age. He is black with some grey/white coloring above his pretty eyes. Rollo is an independent cat, but loves attention and petting when it's on his own terms. A sweet boy, but shy and will need a patient family to out him at ease. At this point we suggest a quiet household without young kids. (approx DOB 11/2016)
Smokey
Smokey is a female tabby kitty about 2 years old. She has a pretty, long haired coat with a mix of soft light gray to darker gray colors. White highlights her eyes and mouth-especially showing off her pretty green eyes. Smokey is a sweet, friendly cat that likes to play and be petted. She is used to adults and older children-not sure about young kids or other pets. Smokey will need regular brushing to keep her fluffy coat tangle free. She is also on a K/D diet and eats soft and dry food with this special formula.
Steve
Steve is a male tabby kitty with a mix of brown, black and white in his coat. His short haired fur is soft and fluffy with some white ‘socks’ and a handsome face. Steve loves to be held, carried and petted! He is a four paw declaw and must be an indoor kitty only. He’s a sweet, older fella, of 13 years, and needing a forever home where he is loved & cherished. Steve’s blood work shows a kidney issue that requires a special kidney food diet. Please be sure to consider this expense when adopting any pet with a few extra health requirements. We think Steve would like to be an only kitty as he does growl if other kitties get in his space. Probably a quiet home, perhaps a mature household where he gets all the attention he craves may be best.
Stoffie
Stoffie is a male tabby kitty about 1 year old. He has a soft short haired brown and black coat with some cream coloring highlighting his eyes and mouth. Stoffie is a big sweet heart who loves to play and get attention and pets. He can be a chatterbox at times too! We think Stoffie would be most happy as an only kitty due to his alpha male behavior.
Teddy
Teddy is a handsome orange tabby cat about 4 years old. His silky short haired coat is lighter orange with darker orange stripes throughout. Teddy has big, beautiful golden eyes. He is a super sweet boy who enjoys attention and doesn’t mind being picked up. He seems to do well with other kitties too. Come see if Teddy is a match for you.
Tigger
Tigger is a 5 year old male, orange and white Tabby cat. You can surely see the distinctive 'M' on the forehead of this Tabby. He's a nice cat but can be grumpy. He may be different in a person's home, than in the shelter with numerous other cats. Tigger can be quite independent, but he does enjoy a bit of petting on his own terms. Tigger is quiet and laid back. He may not be a good fit for young kids. (approx DOB 3/19/2018)
